Dual spoilers = fail. I'm not a fan.

i think it looks better than the lip spoiler by itself forsure. Hey i have a question. do you know if your girlfriend has trouble opening the trunk with the remote key because the trunk just got a lot heavier?

If that were the case, wouldn't everyone that owns an Si have that problem? I can't imagine that lip spoilers weight anything significant.

SI trunks have bigger springs

well the remote unlocks it but she just puts a little more force into opening it but other than that no biggie. si trunk springs should do the trick.

I did the same to my car...but warning...those after market spoilers are not exact specs..so when i grew the balls to drill the holes, i realised that the "indents" were off by 2mm (spoiler was 2 mm short !! )

So I had to adjust the holes a bit and I ended up making humongous holes !!!

Alls well that ends well. Good job though !!

everything looks good besides the lip spoiler. i have the exact same car in royal blue and i was thinking of getting an Si wing, but... i dont want holes in my trunk after i take off the lip, and it looks odd with both

it doesnt look that bad actually.. maybe at first.. but you'll get used to it

SouthJersey06blacksi · 05-18-2008, 01:06 AM

definately a no go for me. i think its either one or the other. and i would chose the lip spoiler.

SoUtHeAsTbEaSt4o9 · 05-22-2008, 09:09 PM

i just bought an si spoiler for the SEDAN and i was wondering if it has the same number of screws and if i follow the same instructions. oh and what kind of screws, adhesive, electrical stuff, etc. that i would need. i searched everywhere but i cant find anything on how to do this. pleeeeease help me.

I just installed my spoiler on my LX today and i like it. I dont mind the lip spoiler on at the same time too much. I did make sure to disconnect the interior 3rd brake like so only the spoiler was the third light. Makes it look much better.
